Journal
| Date | Particulars | L.F. | Debit | Credit | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| X’s Capital a/c | Dr. | 10,000 | |||
| Z’s Capital A/c | Dr. | 6,000 | |||
| To Y’s Capital a/c | 16,000 | ||||
| (Being amount transferred from gaining partner’s capital accounts to retiring partner’s capital a/c on account of goodwill) | |||||
| Profit and loss appropriation a/c | Dr. | 24,000 | |||
| To X’s Capital A/c | 17,000 | ||||
| To Z’s Capital a/c | 7,000 | ||||
| (Being profits distributed between X and Z in their new profit sharing ratio) |
Working Note:
(i) Calculation of Gaining Ratio :
As X has transferred Rs. 10000 and Z has transferred Rs. 6000 to Y’s Capital a/c (on account of goodwill), therefore gaining ratio of X and Z is 5 : 3 (10000 : 6000).
(ii) Calculation of new profit sharing ratio :
X’s new share = Old share + gain
= 3/6 + (5/8 of Y’s share)
= 3/6 + (5/8 of 2/6)
= 17/24
Z’s new share = Old share + gain
= 1/6 + (3/8 of Y’s share)
= 1/6 + (3/8 of 2/6)
= 7/24
New profit sharing ratio = 17 : 7 (X : Z)
